The reagent selectively oxidises primary hydroxyl group in the presence of secondary hydroxyl group. The selectivity is also exhibited in the oxidation of axial hydroxyl group of the cis -4-t-butyl cyclohexanol in preference to equitorial hydroxyl group. Further the reagent is stable even after a period of twelve weeks of its storage.

Research paper thumbnail of Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of Glass-Forming Bay-Substituted Perylenediimide Derivatives

The PDI derivatives were found to be capable of forming molecular glasses with glass transition temperatures ranging from 50 to 102 degrees C. Detailed investigations of the optical properties of the synthesized derivatives were performed and compared with those obtained from quantum chemical calculations. Optimized molecular structures of the PDI derivatives exhibited core-twisting by 16 degrees and torsional angle between the bay substituent and the perylene core in the range of 60-72 degrees. The PDI derivatives exhibited absorption maxima in the range of 2.27-2.36 eV and emission maxima in the range of 2.10-2.28 eV. The impact of the bay substituents on the emission, fluorescence quantum yield, and lifetimes in solutions and thin films was established. The red shift of emission maxima (from 2.282 to 2.095 eV) observed for various PDIs in solutions was accompanied by significant reduction in the emission quantum yield (from 0.73 to 0.44) and corresponding increase of the fluorescence lifetime (from 4.5 to 6.8 ns). This was in agreement with quantum chemical calculations indicating decrease of the radiative relaxation rate due to reduction of the oscillator strength and remarkable decrease of the torsional activation barrier. The spectral properties of the wet-casted perylenediimide films featuring different bay substituents were also studied. The variation in the emission peak (of 0.25 eV) and the considerable increase of the Stokes shift (of 0.4 eV) are explained in terms of the formation of the amorphous state. The influence of the bay substituents on the thermal and spectral properties of the films are discussed.

The microwave promoted syntheses in aqueous medium afforded moderate to excellent yield (up to 98%) within short reaction time and allowed the reaction to take place with low microwave power (200 W). This synthetic methodology provides easier separation of products and the catalyst exhibits recycling ability without loss of its catalytic activity up to five reaction cycles. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of substituents on the electron transport properties of bay substituted perylene diimide derivatives

The absorption maxima of PDI1-5 showed a bathochromic shift with considerable peak broadening and merging of vibronic fine structure as compared to that of PDI. The photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from electron donating substituents to the perylene-acceptor has been observed from fluorescence self-quenching. The molecules are stable up to 400 C and amorphous in nature. The cyclic voltammetry results revealed that the oxidation potential can be tuned by the electron donating capacity of the substituents and the dithiophene-attached perylene derivative (PDI4) showed a very low band gap of 1.57 eV. The electron transporting properties have been studied using xerographic time-offlight method and the highest electron mobility reached up to 4.4 Â 10 À4 cm 2 V À1 s À1 at 6.4 Â 10 5 V cm À1 for 1,7-di(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)perylene diimide (PDI1) under ambient conditions. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: 1 H and 13 C NMR and MALDI-TOF spectra of all the synthesized compounds, absorption and emission spectra PDI derivatives.

Research paper thumbnail of r XXXX American Chemical Society Magnetic Sponge Prepared with an Alkanedithiol-Bridged Network of Nanomagnets

The magnetic dipoleÀdipole interaction between nanomagnets having huge magnetic moments can have ... more The magnetic dipoleÀdipole interaction between nanomagnets having huge magnetic moments can have a strength comparable to that of the van der Waals interaction between them, and it can be manipulated by applying an external magnetic field of conventional strength. Therefore, the cooperation between the dipoleÀdipole interaction and the applied magnetic field allows the magnetic moments of nanomagnets to be aligned and organized in an ordered manner. In this work, a network of magnetic nanoparticles connected with flexible long-alkyl-chain linkers was designed to develop a "magnetic sponge" capable of absorbing and desorbing guest molecules with changes in the applied magnetic field. The magnetization of the sponge with long-alkyl-chain bridges (30 C atoms) exhibited a 500% increase after cooling in the presence of an applied field of 7 T relative to that in the absence of a magnetic field. Cooling in a magnetic field leads to anisotropic stretching in the sponge due to reorganization of the nanomagnets along the applied field, in contrast to the isotropic organization under zero-field conditions. Such magnetic-responsive organization and reorganization of the magnetic particle network significantly influences the gas absorption capacity of the nanopores inside the material. The absorption and desorption of guests in an applied magnetic field at low temperature can be regarded as a fascinating "breathing feature" of our magnetic sponge.
